I can’t speak for other jurisdictions, but while our growth looks relatively low here in Nevada, the fact is we’re adding thousands of seats per year through replication. Historically our state department of education has not looked at expansion by campus–as authorizers prefer to do it–but by charter holder and model. That methodology is set to change in the next year or so as individual campuses are assigned state school code equivalents for the first time. That will reveal a very different story: as our best schools have replicated, we’ve grown from 11,000 seats in 2011 to 31,000 as of September 2016 and we’re on pace to double again in the next few years.

It would be funny if was not about lives of our kids. And how are they supposed to write their essay if they are frightened of being torn apart by Grizzly bear? The only solution here seems to be asking for professionals help.
